i had an idea after reading the excellence article about the orange 914, that car didnt have a rear window, and i thought it might be cool to have a removable rear window...has anyone done this before?
the only problem i can think of is that you would get alot of wind in the cabin through the rear probably.... any thoughts? |

Drove my car with no rear window. I tried to drive it to work. Got three blocks from home, said "f*ck this!" and went back and parked it. Waaaaaaay too loud.
I don't think there's enough room to fit a sliding rear window, a la Del Sol. The firewall has that large bump in the middle for the cooling air to get to the fan, after all, and glass doesn't really like to bend. Maybe a section that slides off to the side, like in some pickup trucks. --DD |
